A WhatsApp channel reaches people on the app they check more than any other, which makes it a high-attention surface where a missed update is costly. With an agent connected to posthell and publishing enabled, your agent can turn an update into a WhatsApp channel broadcast and send it on its own, so subscribers get a consistent stream without you sending each message by hand. WhatsApp is free to serve, so this is unlimited and never metered. The agent broadcasts text, which is the heart of a channel post.

## What you get

### Broadcast where attention is

WhatsApp is where a lot of people actually look. The agent can keep your channel broadcasting on a schedule so your most-checked surface stays active.

### The update, sent for you

The agent shapes your note into a clean channel broadcast and can send it itself, so you are not manually messaging your channel every time there is news.

### Unlimited and never metered

WhatsApp is free to serve, so an agent broadcasting to it costs nothing on any plan. Only X is metered.

### Broadcasts to your connected channel

The agent posts to the WhatsApp channel posthell connected through Zernio. The connect flow handles setup.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can an AI agent broadcast to a WhatsApp channel automatically?

Yes, once Publishing is enabled on the agent's key. The agent sends text broadcasts to the WhatsApp channel posthell connected, on its own. A draft-only key queues them for approval instead.

### Does the agent message individual contacts?

No. The agent broadcasts to a WhatsApp channel, the opt-in broadcast surface, not to personal DMs or contacts. The connect flow points it at your channel.

### Is automated WhatsApp posting metered?

No. WhatsApp is unlimited on every plan and an agent broadcasting to it costs nothing. Only X is metered.

### Can the agent run WhatsApp and Telegram together?

Yes. In one run it can broadcast to WhatsApp and Telegram and any other connected network, X included. The free networks cost nothing; X draws from your X credits.
